Custom Built for Your Project (Listing is for One [1] Bracket)Unlike mass-produced, thin-gauge hardware found in big-box stores, our brackets are fabricated to order specifically for your project. We do not "mass produce" our inventory; each piece is individually crafted in our Madison, Indiana shop. This allows us to offer the structural thickness, custom angles, and high-end finishes that industrial manufacturers simply cannot provide.
The Madison Iron and Wood Difference:
Tailored to Your Pitch: Available in 3/12 to 12/12 ceiling pitches. We specialize in the exact angles and custom sizes that the "one-size-fits-all" brands ignore.
Superior Material Thickness: Choose between Heavy Duty 12-Gauge or ultra-premium 1/4-inch Thick American Steel for maximum structural rigidity and peace of mind.
Offset Hole Pattern: Our engineered cradle design features offset mounting holes, ensuring wood screws or bolts never collide during installation for a cleaner, more secure connection.
Industrial UV-Resistant Finish: Finished in a high-durability, baked-on powder coat with UV inhibitors. Unlike standard paint, our finish resists fading and weathering in exposed beam applications.
Veteran-Owned Craftsmanship: Every bracket is made-to-order, giving you a level of quality and customization (hole sizes, colors, dimensions) that mass-market hardware can't match.
Technical Specifications:
Quantity: Listing is for one (1) individual bracket.
Mounting Type: Face Mount Saddle Bracket
Lumber Compatibility: Sized for Nominal 2x6, 4x6, and 6x6 rafters, as well as True-Sized Rough Cut lumber.
Hardware Ready: Pre-drilled for 5/16" lag bolts (Matching lag bolts available separately).
Custom Orders: Need a specific angle, a unique flange width, or custom hole sizes? We specialize in one-off fabrication to solve your specific structural needs. Contact us at 812-748-2021 or mail@madisonironandwood.com for a custom quote.

Looks pretty neat!
You guys do good work!
I’m getting two more Golden’s and need two Labs next order.
Very pleased with the quality!!
Exactly what I was wanting.
Would prefer unpainted metal so it will rust.
Thank you
Love the product, the caps, if you order correctly, you will find that you will need to do some hand work on you're 6x6 pressure treated posts --- the caps are rounded on the corners. I ended up needing to router the tops on each post. That being said, the product is excellent --
You will need to take a look at the company YOUTUBE cap explanation --- it will come in handy, and will prepare you for when the caps arrive -- when my caps arrived -- I thought I ordered the wrong product -- which was alarming -- because each product is made to order -- and not exchangeable or refundable -- That being said, the good people at Madison emailed me this youtube video ---

After some research and work on my part -- the caps fit really good and tight -- I haven't installed the roping as of yet. We are pleased with my design, and Madisons high end product works perfectly with our vision !
Madison Iron manufactured custom truss brackets for my project. The quality of the parts is excellent and their service was excellent as well. Custom products are hard since issues often come up that need to be resolved. We ran into one such issue and Madison was quick to work with me to figure things out.
I recommend Madison over Simpson!
It looks great and well made. I have to wait until spring to really use it. I did put it on the outside post loved the look it gives the post. I have lights on the other post but one didn’t fit on the one closest to the house this crab makes a finished look. Would recommend it
Very well crafted and the powder coating makes my eagle mailbox post decorative addition look amazing. I'm proud to have it enhancing the overall appearance of my mailbox. Thank you Madison Iron & Wood!
Absolutely love these post caps. The quality and workmanship is outstanding. The instructions provided were extremely helpful as we installed these on older posts and after following the instructions they fit perfectly. Would definitely purchase from these folks again. Definitely recommend to others. A 5 star experience from start to finish.
My husband and I are very pleased with the Squirrel post caps. They really enhance our back deck; they look really classy. And, the workmanship is excellent!

I ordered some hummingbird post caps and plain post caps in the same color - navy blue. The hummingbird caps will look great in my pollinator garden - and the plain ones will be used to cap off the posts for my sailcloth canopy.
I know that these are unique products - both high quality and in a variety of designs to complement different landscapes while actually protecting the tops of my 4x4 posts. I also appreciate the fact that coordinating screws are provided.
This our new garden area; we are calling it "the Final Frontier" because it is the last available space on our 1 acre. It has always been a field of a terrible invasive weed that has been hard to keep under control, let alone get rid of. But we did finally get it out. I designed the hard-scape and chose and planted the plants. We wanted all the things this type of setting should have: firepit, tree of life metal sculpture, fountain and windchimes. Your post cap is perfect at the top of the windchime post featuring a hummingbird, as the flowers will attract many.
It showed up nicely packaged, and I could tell alot went into it. Thank you! Being a veteran my self i am always proud to support veteran owned companies.
It’s perfect! Great quality! We haven’t placed it yet because we are waiting for our tile backsplash to be completed before hanging it but we’re sure it will look great!
